Blind devotion

9.

Once the first day had finished they made their way back to the hotel they were staying in for the night. Sadi was glad to be able to rest as her side and face had begun to ache furiously. Once they had gotten back to the room Norman had run them both a hot bath, so now they were sat in the tub with her back to his chest as the hot water soothed away her pain.

"How are you feeling?" He asked as he lathered up a sponge to wash her back. As he massaged her back she felt her body melt into goo.

"I'm better now. I can't believe those stupid girls." He kissed her head before he began to soap up the front of her body.

"Jealousy does funny things to people." He said, "So what actually happened?" He asked as he knew she hadn't told him the full story.

She sighed loudly, "They asked why would someone like you be interested in a cripple like me." She laid her head back against his shoulder.

"As I said, jealousy does funny things to people." Although underneath he was seething. She was blind but she was still a normal person underneath her clothes.

She began to relax into him and he realized she was starting to fall asleep while in the bath. He rinsed her off and shifted her forward a bit so he could get out of the bath.

Once he picked her up he carried her to the bed where Dixon was already fast asleep. "Go to sleep now." He said as he pulled one of his t-shirts over her head.

"Where are you going?" She mumbled drowsily,

"We usually meet down in the bar after the first day." He replied as he pulled the blanket up under her chin.

"Ok go and have fun." She said as she turned over and fell to sleep. He smiled at her before giving Dixon a quick fuss as he left the room.

Once he got to the bar he saw the entire cast, as well as Candace, sat having drinks around the tables. There were a few fans who were also staying at the same hotel, but they were acting quite respectful of the cast. As he approached the table Andy looked up at him,

"She sleeping?" He said as he slid a pint towards him.

"Yeah, she was shattered. Getting beat up takes a lot out of you." He said as he perched on the stool by Candace.

"Why would someone beat her up though?" Candace said as she rolled a cigarette.

"Jealously. The girls said to her why would someone like me be interested in a cripple like her." Daryl looked at the glass, "no offense girls but your sex can be bitches."

"None taken. Women can be brutal." Lauren said from where she was sat beside Andy and Chandler.

"Ok, so can someone please tell me who Sadi is? A few of us were hoping to meet her tonight but you whisked her off up to bed as soon as you crossed the foyer?" Chandler asked as he took a drink of his coke.

"Well, Sadi is my friend. She was blinded in an accident 3 years ago and is an incredible person. She is also the biggest walking dead fan I know." Candace said before Norman could reply, "And Norman is in love with her." The man in question looked at her and saw the alcohol glaze in her eyes.

"How much have you had to drink?" He asked,

"Somewhere between not enough and far too much." She said as she giggled, "Well if you don't love her then it must be some major chemistry in the bedroom. Especially with all the noise, you were making last night and this morning." He looked at her and blushed,

"You were listening." But she shook her head.

"Nope. Last night I walked passed your room to go to the bathroom and this morning I heard you from where I was sleeping." She shrugged, "It's ok though. You are both consenting adults. Plus it's nice to see Sadi smile again." She said as she stood up from the stool. As she swayed Norman caught her, "Ok maybe I've had far too much." She said before she made her unsteady way to the lift. He looked at Andy who sighed.
